There are two opposite lifestyles from which we can choose.
One is characterized by wickedness and error. This is walking in the dark. The other is characterized by holiness and truth. It is walking in the light.
We should only have one choice, and it is to walk in the light as Jesus is in the light. To walk in darkness is not an option.
When a person is a Christian, his or her life should show that commitment. Christianity is not just forgiveness of sins with no change in lifestyle. We are saved not just from sin but to live a life of godliness.
Consider your words. Do they match your life? You can lie to others and even yourself but never to God. To say you have fellowship is meaningless unless your life gives evidence to the change.
1 John 1:6
If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
